卡塔尔工业上半年利润4.85亿里亚尔 收入49亿里亚尔

据海湾时报网站7月28日消息 卡塔尔工业（IQ）作为石油化工、化肥和钢铁业务的控股公司，公布称今年上半年净利润为4.85亿里亚尔，总收入为49亿里亚尔。

能源事务国务部长兼卡塔尔工业主席兼董事总经理HE Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi表示：“尽管全球市场面临极其严峻的形势，但我们的运营和财务状况继续保持弹性，并有效应对了近期不利因素带来的不断变化的挑战。”

财务业绩受到若干外部因素的影响，其中包括全球大流行病的情况、石油价格的大幅走弱以及由于国内生产总值增长乏力、工业活动缺乏以及消费者和工业参与减少而导致的产品需求显著下降。

这些不利条件直接导致大宗商品价格下降，平均销售价格同比下降5%，从而导致集团净利润下降7亿里亚尔。石油化工类股大幅减少，占总减少额的5亿里亚尔，化肥类股占总减持额的2亿里亚尔。

该集团的销售额同比下降29%，原因包括需求疲软、卡塔尔钢铁公司某些钢铁设施封存导致产量下降以及定期计划和非计划维护。

IQ posts H1 profit of QR485mn on QR4.9bn revenues

A holding entity for petrochemicals, fertiliser and steel businesses – has reported net profit of QR485mn on total revenues of QR4.9bn in the first half (H1) of this year.

“Despite extremely challenging circumstances for global markets, our operations and financial position continued to remain resilient and responded effectively to the evolving challenges posed by the recent headwinds,” said HE Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs as well as IQ chairman and managing director.

The financial performance was impacted by several external factors, including the global pandemic conditions, significant weaker oil prices and a notable decline in the product demand owing to weaker GDP (gross domestic product) growth, lack of industrial activity and subdued consumer and industrial participation.

These adverse conditions directly translated into declining commodity prices, where average selling prices fell 5% year-on-year (y-o-y), contributing to a QR0.7bn decline in the group’s net profits. The major reduction was noted in the petrochemicals, which accounted for QR0.5bn, and fertiliser accounted for QR0.2bn of the total reduction.

The group’s sales volumes were down 29% year-on-year, driven by a combination of reasons including weaker demand, lower production on account of mothballing of certain steel facilities at Qatar Steel and periodic planned and unplanned maintenance.
